When you’re young, horny and reasonably healthy it makes a lot more sense.
How old I am:
Translated Paradise City into French for my gf, hand written in a perfumed letter on real stationary. She loved it. Yes, I got laid, but that was happening anyway as we were 18.
… did she know that was a translation, or you went like "here is an original French poem I wrote about you "
She was one of two genuine genius level IQs I’ve ever met. She knew.
Genius, looked like an 80s Marilyn Monroe, freak in the sheets, emotional quotient of a rabid possum. Loved that woman.
except the original lyrics didn’t go like that…
Are you sure about that?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)https://genius.com/Guns-n-roses-paradise-city-lyrics
I mean they repeat it a whole bunch of times.
Those weren’t the original lyrics, though. Axl changed them before the song was recorded (good move, though)
I mean… I’ve been where the grass is spray painted rocks and the girls aren’t pretty… I’d rather green grass and pretty girls.
